ULTIMATE TEMPEH BACON



Ultimate Tempeh Bacon image

There are a few key tricks to nailing this vegan bacon made from tempeh, a plant-based protein source made from soybeans. The first is finding the right balance of salt, sugar and smoke in the marinade. The second is steaming the tempeh so it can soak in all the marinade flavors. (Don't worry, the steaming here is a quick microwave hack.) The final trick is letting the tempeh bake just a little longer so it's extra crispy with charred bits, giving it the true spirit of bacon. The greatest part of all is having a batch on hand to use like bacon: in a TLT (tempeh, lettuce and tomato), crumbled over a salad or baked potato -- the possibilities are endless!

Time 1h

Yield 16 to 18 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
One 8-ounce block tempeh

Steps:

  • Combine the tamari, brown sugar, olive oil, liquid smoke, paprika, salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Slice the tempeh crosswise 1/4 inch thick. Arrange on a microwave-safe plate and drizzle with 1/4 cup water. Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave on high until the tempeh is soft and has absorbed some of the liquid, about 4 minutes. Drain off any excess water.
  • Arrange the warm tempeh slices in a single layer in the marinade. Tilt the baking dish a few times to evenly distribute the marinade. Let the tempeh sit, flipping the slices and tilting the dish every 10 minutes, until the slices are very saturated, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Arrange the tempeh slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart; reserve the marinade. Bake until the tempeh starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Brush the tempeh with some of the reserved marinade. Flip the slices and brush again with more marinade. Bake until the tops start to char slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately or let cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Reheat in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F or in a dry skillet over medium heat, just until warmed through.
